London - The author Martin Amis, one of Britain's leading novelists, has revealed that he was sexually molested on three occasions when he was a child.
Amis told the American Internet magazine Salon that writing about his cousin, Lucy Partington, prompted the memory of his childhood abuse. Lucy Partington, who disappeared in 1973, at the age of 21, was sexually abused and murdered by the serial killers Fred and Rosemary West. The interview can be seen on httpwww.salon1999.com
